Guest DaneMichaels Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have never posted in this forum, although, I have been listed on here for some time, not quite a year. I just wanted to express my thanks to Oz for this site and what he does in the open and behind the scenes, which I am sure it keeps him up late nights at times. I just had the privledge of meeting Oz in Palm Springs at the annual escort convention. I did not have a chance to sit and talk for very long, but Oz, you left quite an impression on me in our brief chat. ( I was passing to head to the bathroom) when he stopped me (Dane) to inquire my name, when he realized I was posted on his site. We chatted over my military experience and Medicine (my first love) for a few minutes and then I had to meet and greet some other folks at the pool event. I tried to make my way back over to speak more with him, but he had left. The impression I got was that of a gentle and caring man, these days I know we can all a-test to this not always being the case, which, Oz, you are the exception. Thank you for this site, and what you do that we may not see. Thank you for showing your support to all us working guys and it was more than a pleasure to have met you and I hope to be able to sit down again and chat with you more in-depth. I plan to get on this forum more and meet some of you fellas out there. Salut Oz and again, THANK YOU!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zipperzone Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 There are now 3 threads referring to the Palm Springs Weekend. Anyone care to start a fourth? Not really. I think he only started the 3rd as a means of advertising his services, as noted by his picture and links he so graciously provided as his signature. Blatant self-promotion, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimboivyo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 have you seen the number of boot licking threads started over at dad's site? It's clear that every escort involved with the psp weekend has to publicly thank the management to remain in good graces. That's what is nice about mer- Oz and company run this place with rules, but a very even hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only started the 3rd as a means of advertising his services, as noted by his picture and links he so graciously provided as his signature. Blatant self-promotion, IMO Maybe, but then he could have done that at any time. It's easy to be cynical these days, surely there are reasons all around us in our daily life. I choose to take his post at face value until I have firm reason to do otherwise. As for escorts using links to web pages and reviews as signatures, it is a common practice, one which potential clients appreciate and escorts are often urged to do by posters if it is not their practice. Nothing wrong with advertising a business, even in a forum if done unobtrusively. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 There are now 3 threads referring to the Palm Springs Weekend. Anyone care to start a fourth? Maybe. Would you mind if I did? Not really. I think he only started the 3rd as a means of advertising his services, as noted by his picture and links he so graciously provided as his signature. Blatant self-promotion, IMO I don't think that was the reason. I met him. I really really liked him. He is really a genuine guy. But, why would anyone not put a link to their profile on EVERY site they post. I think it was a great idea. As The Donald might say, whatcha got against blatant self-promotion? Isn't Donald going to be our next President? have you seen the number of boot licking threads started over at dad's site? It's clear that every escort involved with the psp weekend has to publicly thank the management to remain in good graces. That's what is nice about mer- Oz and company run this place with rules, but a very even hand. I didn't read Daddy's site. Perhaps you can start another thread about this bootlicking. I like the topic a lot. As for escorts using links to web pages and reviews as signatures, it is a common practice, one which potential clients appreciate and escorts are often urged to do by posters if it is not their practice. Nothing wrong with advertising a business, even in a forum if done unobtrusively. FWIW I agree TY. Every escort that posts should put their links on their signature. It is a shame that all don't do this. It makes it easy for clients to find them but it also helps them with SEO. Dane, Thank you for the kind comments. I am not sure if you saw my thread in the other forum about you but I really enjoyed meeting you as well. And, I am sure our paths will cross again!

Members lookin Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks, DM, for your post! I've been waiting for days for some juicy tidbits from the Palms Springs Do. Glad to hear your perspective. Plus, a 'bread and butter' letter is always a nice touch, and will no doubt appeal to many of the higher-class posters here. Of course, you've already got us lower-class posters covered nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 We had Dane start a thread about Oz, then Oz starts a thread about Dane. A bit much in my opinion. But, I do like Dane and I do like Oz, so may be I will start a thread about that. What is disgusting over at Dadys site is that the Weekend sounds like it was all about him. He had nothing to do with it. He only came because someone paid his way, flight, hotel, and Follies ticket. I just wish they had bought him a better outfit too. Maybe his donations will soon go up. Oliver deserves the praise, but the escorts are too busy sucking up to Daddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oliver deserves the praise, but the escorts are too busy sucking up to Daddy. Can't say what goes on over there these days but in the past when I attended I inferred from observations and also heard through private escort communications that sucking up seemed to pay benefits. That was one reason why we were dedicated to providing a level playing field among escorts and between escorts and clients. From what I read here Oliver does indeed deserve high praise for a great production and experience for the attendees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver deserves the praise, but the escorts are too busy sucking up to Daddy. Come on, Lucky. The posters haven't ignored Oliver in their comments. The Hooville Weekend may be a social affair, but it is inextricably tied in with business, and you can't blame escorts for understanding that fact. Oscar winners know enough to thank all their colleagues and employers, both past and potentially future. The speeches may be cloying, but they are a standard part of the event.

Blatant self-promotion, IMO It was actually a sincere and kind thank you to Oz and the behind the scenes bump to a Gold membership that he kindly provided. This is actually why I do not get on this forum... Blatant self-promo..... NO, JUST A THANKFUL ESCORT.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I had just posted a rave review of you in another forum about how great I thought you were. The poster here may have thought you saw that and started another post. Don't let it get under your skin. Just from the time I spent with you this weekend, I know you have a great deal to add to any forum or conversation. I took your post in the gesture it was meant. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that now-a-days a "thank you" gets so controversial, but I guess being new on here can merit that. Have a good one Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky, you know I love a military stance, and that you have. You have a strong presence, that is a really appealing thing. LOL although I am not Thai, I am of Japanese descent on my moms side... Does that work..JK Good night gentleman, a pleasure to have met you on the far west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if self promotion was your intent - and it would take a lot to convince me that was not the case - then you sure achieved your goal. More posts in less time than any other thread I have seen here yet. Do you teach a course in "Marketing 101"? You should consider it.

Members Lucky Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 Dane, my comment just referred to the number of threads we had about Palm Springs. I am THRILLED to have you on the board, and hope you will like it here. Self-promote all you want, I'll be glad to look at your pix anytime!

Members flguy Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 Morning All, In response to Zippers comment I can say I have know Dane since he started last year and we have established a relationship both as client and friend. I have watched him progress in his career and have talked many times about business and I am glad he considers me a mentor from a client standpoint. When he first started he had never even heard of MER or Daddy's or the positive side of participating in the forums or establishing reviews.(or in this case the downside of trying to be himself) I was his first reviewer on all the sites and I have also taken all his photos. I am not a professional by any means but his originals were the typical IPhone photos. I am also the person who convinced him to make "Profile Signatures" to appear on all posts and emails to make it easier for clients to find his pertinent information I can ABSOLUTELY say of all the escorts I have met in the past 10 years he is the MOST down to earth, honest, compassionate and caring guy I have ever met. If you view his posts at the other site you would see they are NOT self promoting but from the heart. And I guess in anyone providing a service there has to be some promotion and advertising to sell you product. Anyone not considering meeting with Dane is really missing the boat for a high quality guy. As a side note, he has done a photo shoot with a professional photographer while in Palm Springs, and I look forward to the results. Thanks for those responding to this thread in his support, especially those that have actually met him. Thanks Dane for the unparalleled service you provide, it is unequaled by very few.

Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 It was a real pleasure to meet Dane.This young man is a treasure-polite,well spoken and sexy hot!I hope to have a chance to get to know him better. Dane please forgive some of the rude opinions above. Unfortunately it is inherant in the nature of IBB's that you will get a few cranky folks. Trust me when I tell you that this is the exception to the rule here at MER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More posts in less time than any other thread I have seen here yet. Do you teach a course in "Marketing 101"? You should consider it. I am not here to convince you of anything, however, it is a bit sad that Oz and Lucky have chimmed in and still you feel you need to "attack" me over a THANK YOU. Again...WOW how far a thank you will go these days bewilders me. I have not navigated this site or its forum in quite some time, but I will from now on to ensure I am not "sucking ass to much" zipperzone. Marketing, not my thing. I am a genius with combat medicine and am hoping for pre med from my hands on experience on the frnt lines with my Marines in Iraq. I think that may speak a "little bit" for my integrity.

Guest DaneMichaels Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 To the Gentleman who have met or know me personally, Thank you for coming through to express a little about me and bring to this thread a more sincere side of me (well atleast as much as black and white letters will allow) Although this may have turned controversial, I did not start it to be that way. Either way, it is gorgeous and sunny here in Raleigh, NC and I hope where ever you guys may be, it is also.. Carpe Diem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
